2009 13th Annual Anglers On Wheels

We Hope You Will Join Us This Year!

Anglers On Wheels is an annual wheelchair accessible, fishing trip in Port Aransas, Texas. This event is held in May, the weekend after Mother's Day, for fishermen with disabilities, their friends and family members.

The event includes a free barbecue get-together on Saturday night at Robert's Point Park Pavilion (near the city docks) and a free 4 hour fishing trip on The Island Queen II fishing boat, moored at Woody's Sport Center.

The Island Queen II is a 65 foot boat which is a converted ferry that is completely wheelchair accessible and covered to keep off the hot Texas sun.

The boat also has bathroom facilities and an upper deck. Bait, tackle, and deck hands are available to help you, free of charge.

Port Aransas Emergency Medical Technicians are on board each trip.

There are 2 trips to choose from:
Saturday 1pm to 5pm or
Sunday 8am to noon

You are welcome to bring your own tackle and ice box on board. Space is limited, so groups on the boat are restricted to 4 members or less. Fishermen are responsible for their own transportation and overnight accommodations.

All reservations will be confirmed. Packets will be mailed approximately 2 weeks before the event with additional information and a map of Port Aransas.
(If you make a reservation and have a change of plans, please call our office a.s.a.p. because we usually have a waiting list.)
Thank you for your consideration.
